I didn't see anything from Monday's 4-3 Edmonton victory to make me think this would not cash again. Yeah, it was tied 3-3 late (told you I wouldn't play U6.5s in this series; also why I refuse to play -1.5) but statistically the Oilers mostly dominated -- at least in periods 1 and 3. And that mediocre Ducks goalie Lukas Dostal allowed four goals with Connor McDavid stunningly not getting a point ... well that just doesn't bode well for Dostal in Game 2. That was Edmonton's first win this entire season when McDavid was scoreless. The 60-minute line should be fine Wednesday if wanted to bring this down.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have shown for several years their streakiness as a team. It works both ways for winning and losing, and right now the Diamondbacks are showing a big worry with their pitching. The last two games the starters have given up eight runs each. As great as Eduardo Rodriguez start has been to the season, this looks like another letdown spot for the Diamondbacks. Whether it’s from Rodriguez or the bullpen, back the underdog White Sox.

It can be hard to get motivated in the long baseball season, but I think the Snakes guys will have a little more juice tonight. Arizona has been embarrassed on its home field in B2B games in being outscored 21-9 -- which has followed a four-game winning streak. The Dbacks haven't lost three in a row since the first three of the season. Their best starting pitcher so far is on the hill tonight in lefty Eduardo Rodriguez (1-0, 1.96 ERA). The bullpen is in great shape. And it's journeyman Anthony Kay for the Pale Hose, who may not score double-digit runs again in 2026 with that unremarkable lineup.

FanDuel. Jalen Williams averaged 10.8 rebounds plus assists per 30 minutes in the full games he played with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander this season. With the Thunder fully healthy, Williams functions as the de facto point guard in the non-SGA iso possions. And his 4.5 rebound line is low, especially given the Thunder trotting out less two-big lineups.

With Mark Williams ruled out again, it will be up to Oso Ighodaro to battle the Thunder bigs. He went scoreless in Game 1, but he hustled his way to nine rebounds -- seven on the offensive glass. He also dished out three assists. Phoenix will emphasize ball movement in Game 2 after producing just 16 assists (against 17 turnovers) in Game 1. Look for Ighodaro to hit double digits on this combo prop.

Jesper Wallsteadt and Jake Oettinger have been the story so far this series; Wallsteadt has answered the bell in his first two playoff starts while Oettinger looked incredibly sharp in Game 2 after an underwhelming performance to start the series. Both of these teams do so much of their damage on special teams but in a tight checking pivotal Game 3 I don't expect to see the same volume of special teams opportunities as we did in Dallas. This has been a low event series thus far when played at even strength and I believe that trend continues tonight with the first team to 3.
